“NHA has taught me how to face what is in front of me. I no longer spend my time trying to go around or avoid what scares me.

Welcome

The Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) is based on the premise that an individual’s intense energy can be positively channeled and transformed into a positive force. ​It is a therapeutic method developed by Howard Glasser in 1992 to help children and adults with challenging behaviors.
 
It is behavior inspiration, not management.
 
Repeated experiences of being seen and acknowledged when things are not going wrong inspires people to build a positive portfolio of themselves. The approach focuses on creating connected relationships, emphasizing positive behavior, and transforming difficult intensities into abundant Inner Wealth. NHA teaches you to recognize and amplify positive behavior using the 3 Stands™.

Be empowered to develop positive relationships, self-regulate, and build Inner Wealth by registering for one of our trainings, taking a self-paced online course, or buying a book.
